I went to my phone sync page and noticed one folder that had the pictures that I wanted deleted was checked, so I un-checked the box and they disappeared. I think that is what you were referring to in general.

Thanks, Terry

Cool! I use iCloud for automatic syncing, and you can't do both-- the two methods are incompatible, and they can mess each other up. So I can't test this to see how it works. (My knowledge of this more theoretical!) So I appreciate the feedback!

When pictures were added by cable, you have to delete them from the computer. Usually you do this by uploading different pictures or an empty folder.
